Discipline is the difference between choosing what you want now and what you want most.
The problem with discipline is that most runners often seem to perceive discipline and hard work are synonymous. After all, it does take lots of discipline and hard work to become a strong runner. We learn to suffer. Through discipline we learn to put on our running shoes and run in the dark. We run in the rain. We run through aches and pains because we have, through years of training, developed discipline.
So it’s not really surprising that when an overuse injury stands between where we are now and where we had planned to be, many runners think they can just tough it out, power through and keep running anyway.
In today's podcast, we’re talking about discipline and what it takes to recover from running injuries.
